Macron promises to rebuild Notre-Dame Cathedral after fire, seeks international help
French President Emmanuel Macron has promised to rebuild fire-ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral and says he is seeking international help to restore the Paris landmark. "Notre-Dame is burning, and I know the sadness, and this tremor felt by so many fellow French people. But tonight, I'd like to speak of hope, too," he said, announcing the launch of a fundraising campaign. The cathedral went up in flames on Monday in a roaring blaze that devastated the cathedral, causing a huge loss for the city and for France.

E-cigarettes pose less risk than smoking. The science is clear: while cigarettes kill about half their users, e-cigarettes have perhaps five percent of the risk. Therefore, e-cigarettes have the ability to save the lives of those smokers who switch to vaping. Yet, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is trying to eradicate e-cigarettes, a move that would sacrifice smoker lives and squander one of the greatest public health opportunities of our generation.

However it may seem, Church history is never far away. With eyes to see, we will find that it is part of the land in which we dwell, always shaping the way we think and live. Recognizing this and learning to appreciate and understand Church history has tremendous benefits for us as we seek to make sense of our world and represent Christ within it.

Democrats Want to Rejoin the Paris Accord. Let’s Recall Why It Was Such a Bad Deal.
When the Obama administration negotiated the Paris climate agreement, conservatives argued that it should move through the proper treaty process and be sent to the Senate, where elected senators could weigh in and potentially reject the deal. President Barack Obama didn’t do that. Instead, he unilaterally signed the deal, making it all the more easy for a future president to un-sign it. Now that President Donald Trump has announced his intent to withdraw from the costly, ineffectual agreement, House Democrats think it’s time to involve Congress. Those who are clamoring for action on climate change are the ones who should actually be most upset with what a sham the Paris agreement is. It’s been celebrated as a breakthrough achievement of the world’s developed and developing countries coming together, but it is anything but that.

Speaking on C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” aired on Sunday, Sen Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said he is worried about all of the reporting the media gives to “the three that speak out all the time” and “about the perception that people have that the Democratic Party has gone completely off the rails.” “I’m worried about you all reporting, giving all the ink and all the press to the three that speak out all the time,” stated Sen. Manchin. “The House freshmen. And what, there’s maybe seven of them? And when you look at the people who basically changed the House of Democrats, are all new Democrats, or blue dog, moderate? They get no press. They get nothing.”

The Income Tax: Lessons from the Sixteenth Amendment
The adoption of an income tax in America fundamentally changed the US constitution and made the US government much larger, more powerful, and more likely to abuse its power.

Austerity Works — When the Market Is Freed
Cuts to government spending need not be feared if governments will simultaneously allow ordinary people true freedom in the marketplace. Unfortunately, politicians are unlikely to allow this to happen.

How do we recapture the sheer wonder and astonishment of the first Easter once more? One of the most striking elements in the accounts of Jesus’ early ministry in the first half of all four gospels is the reaction of onlookers, both the crowds and the disciples—they were ‘amazed’. The gospel writers use three different terms for this reaction, as if building into a crescendo of wonder and bewilderment.
